At first I was feeling pretty good. I got a new desktop so i could look down upon the earth:
 Then I went looking for NASA solar system photos and came across a pretty decent size representation:  Then the earth started looking smaller:  Compared to the sun the earth is tiny:  Smaller and smaller the earth got until even the sun itself was getting smaller:  In the end even the sun was tiny compared to other stars in the universe:  I still like my new desktop though

That's a picture taken from Voyager 1, taken 3.7 billion miles away from the planet. I linked to the Wikipedia article instead of just the picture so that you can read the background....its an incredible picture. |

You give me a few hundred billion dollars and I will find a way. Of course with Canon gear you would actually be able to see the ORHTF shoot going on... Mark. |
